"This Is the Way" is a song by Swedish musician Bo Martin Erik Erikson, known under the pseudonym of E-Type. It features vocals by Swedish singer Nana Hedin and was released in 1994 by Stockholm Records as the second single from his debut album, Made in Sweden (1994). The song was co-written by E-Type and produced by Denniz Pop and Max Martin. It reached number-one in Sweden, and also peaked at numbers four and 18 in Denmark and Finland, respectively. In France, it reached number 14 and remained for twenty weeks inside the top 50. On the Eurochart Hot 100, the song peaked at number 40 in November 1994. Outside Europe, "This Is the Way" reached number 15 on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. It earned E-Type the prize for Best Swedish Dance Track 1994 at the 1995 Swedish Dance Music Awards.[1] The accompanying music video, directed by Matt Broadley, also received a nomination in the category for Best Swedish Dance Video 1994 at the same awards.[2][3]
